Marina and The Diamonds' new song, 'I'm A Ruin', leaked online this week, ahead of its planned release. When this happened to Madonna she described it as an "act of terrorism" and "artistic rape." Marina's reaction? "If you can't wait, that's OK."
The song, which is taken from Diamandis' forthcoming third album Froot, appeared online because the song's 7" vinyl shipped this week, and thus some impatient soul decided to upload it early.
Responding to the leak, the singer took to Twitter to say, "If you can't wait, that's ok" - a sentiment that has been retweeted 2,500 times. She later elaborated on this to describe the leak as "hilarious LQ."
If you can’t wait, that’s ok.

@MaitheMasiero It's fine. It's just in hilarious LQ so personally, I'd like to wait. I get that some people want to listen though.

And for the first time ever my album will be released Worldwide, so you will all be receiving each track on the same day! This is the start of a new musical and visual era for me.
